Villain's Valor: A Noble Fantasy Resurrection-Chapter 317: Unexpected situations

"Damn it, if she just wanted time with me, she could have said so clearly!" I grumbled, adjusting my student uniform angrily.

"You wish for that, you bastard!" Dorothy was also adjusting a red-pink dress...

Looking at the large mirror in front of me, I had finally managed to get out of that prison last night. Now I was getting ready to return to the academy... by the way, I have to go back alone. They literally abandoned me. A bit cruel, but understandable—there are more important things to do, and I’m fine, so there’s no reason to feel resentful...

Nodding my head... during my days in prison, I wore some strange clothing that, for some reason, was edible. It was made from peculiar leaves...

With a sigh, I sat on one of the wooden furniture pieces covered with beautiful fabrics in the room... looking around carefully... I was in Dorothy’s room. It had a cabin-like style with some luxurious crystals and exotic plants that emitted very pleasant scents, in my opinion... in the center of it all was a large bed in light colors... it all seemed a bit strange to me... thinking about it, the 5 days we spent alone in prison after talking about the siege on the academy... we just kept arguing... like a pair of newlyweds forced together, it was literally all we did. Even over the smallest things, we argued... she vented her frustration from the previous resets, and on the other hand, I just mocked her. I had nothing else to do but make fun of her height...

But right now, we were in a comfortable silence... the reason was simple: she would be coming with me to the empire. Somehow, she could enter my soul whenever she wanted... I suppose it’s because of the strange bond we have. She will basically hide, and a big shiver ran down my spine... thinking that I was being stalked by a potential lunatic all this time makes my bones tremble to death...

"What’s wrong with you?" Dorothy asked, raising an eyebrow through the mirror...

"Stalker," I muttered...

"I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that; I don’t want to kill you right now," she said calmly, while her eyes grew much colder than usual... she must have learned during our arguments that she doesn’t like being called a stalker... but she is, by far the worst I’ve ever seen...

By the way... she’s already ready... looking at the one-piece dress with a belt at her waist and her multicolored hair... I don’t know why, but she looks like a clown... of course, I kept that thought to myself. I don’t want to fight again. Standing up, it’s time to leave this place... finally, after almost a month, I’m a little tired of this forest. I want to see Lysandra again; it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her...

"Let’s go, damn it!" Dorothy cursed out of nowhere while leaving the place, pouting...

"Evacuate all the citizens from the City of Adventurers? Are you serious?" Gabriel frowned, listening to Athena’s report. Evacuating a city isn’t a problem; it’s actually quite easy with Crystal’s help... but, no, wait, he only needs to give an order, and everyone should obey, but not everyone follows orders blindly. Some will feel that something is wrong and will obviously ask questions. Besides, that city is very important for keeping the forest creatures at bay, and within it are some research facilities, trade centers, and most importantly, the guild. Needless to say, this city moves a lot of assets, and most of the people there have high-status power.

"Yes, as I said, we need to evacuate the entire city," Athena nodded with seriousness in her eyes...

Gabriel noticed the unusual seriousness in Athena’s eyes and sighed: "At least give me the reasons." She hadn’t mentioned anything about the situation...

Athena silently took out an artifact...

A great negative energy full of corruption spread around, Gabriel’s eyes shone, and the world around him seemed to obey his will. As if the space within him froze, the corrupt energy stopped expanding and was frozen in place...

Athena quietly handed him the artifact...

"Hñña, Hñaaa," the artifact let out disturbing growls... if a low-ranking person had the misfortune of hearing this sound, their body would have exploded...

Gabriel carefully examined the living artifact... the creature was gray... it had several eyes that moved around as if trying to escape... it wasn’t bigger than a small ball...

"What is this?" Gabriel asked calmly.

His gray eyes, his very being, could clearly sense that this artifact... was one of the many guards under his command, one sent on an expedition, a being of Diamond rank... a being named Aris, someone who never returned... now all that was left of him was this... an artifact filled with concentrated corruption...

"It’s an artifact given to me by the Queen of the Magic Forest," Athena recalled the moment she was discussing the topic with the young queen, who had the same reaction as the emperor, but at the moment when she took out that thing...

"You know, they have time to prevent a catastrophe. They don’t want it to be too late. Believe me, desperation at its peak... it’s better to be dead," saying those words with a smile, the young queen placed that thing in my hands...

"Emperor... as I mentioned earlier, she is also of sacred rank... somehow she managed to get her hands on that thing... and the terrible energy it emits doesn’t belong to any of the ancients..." Athena felt it in her bones, the immense madness that assaulted my ears made my body tremble with fear... if it weren’t for the protection of my true name, I would have fallen into the abyss...

"One of the 7 sins... by the color of the artifact, the characteristic color of Sloth," Gabriel murmured, and in his hands...

Bang!!

The artifact exploded in his hands... he closed his eyes for a few moments...
